Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameters are melatonin rhythms (saliva samples) and core body temperature (CBT) to test whether a short FD protocol can be used as an alternative to a multiple-week FD protocol in disentangling homeostatic and circadian components affecting alertness, sleep, heart rate, metabolism and body temperature.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary study parameters are subjective sleepiness, subjective and objective sleep quality, metabolic rate, heart rate, core body temperature and skin temperature, to investigate whether light can affect alertness (and whether this effect depends on the circadian clock).
